In-depth analysis available from the Ukrainian attacks, made it was clear that utilities needed to take a number of steps to get visibility and situational awareness into industrial control systems (ICS) that operate critical aspects of power generation and transmission. It is key for utilities and other critical infrastructure operators to apply artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect systems anomalies and unusual network behaviour that would indicate the earliest stages of an attack.
